Self-deprecating or arrogant, it's all selfish. Hard as it is, life's better when you spend more time on the rest of the world

In Fall Out Boy, I noticed that I wasn't putting all that much soul into it. It was just kind of screaming, I guess. I was just dying to get out of there!

I definitely love kimchi. The biggest influence that eating so much Korean food growing up had on me was that I have no limit for spiciness. The hotter the better.

In Fall Out Boy, we were all playing with our pop punk influences, so that was always within that kind of framework.

When you're a little kid, you just like music that makes you happy and is fun. As you get older, you reach college or your 20s and you decide that music should be challenging and all art should be smart. So you start to think it makes you like high art more to put down things you consider low art. I don't even think things are low art.

I don't want to be George Lucas and go back after the fact.

When you're No. 1 or No. 300, you still get to play and write the songs.
